Product Description
Demo video: https://youtu.be/NTcE6t0xSC4 (embedded below as well)

When reflected in a mirror, this impossible object changes appearance. There are many existing solutions to this type of three-dimensional optical illusion; this improved version has a more pronounced change in the mirror: very perfect cylinders turning into very perfect square prisms (and vice versa).

If you buy this object and want to share pictures or videos, please make sure to have the camera pointed at 45 degrees, also please make sure the camera is not too close to the object or the illusion will be lost.

This ambiguous illusion is based on Kokichi Sugihara's academic research (published on Symmetry, the open access journal).

Design by Skarabajo (a subsidiary of Ortega Graphics)
